Geshe Tenzin Sherap
 

 
 

Geshe Tenzin Sherap resumed teaching the Sunday class, "Candrakirti's Entering The Middle Way" on Febrary 19, 2022 at 2:00pm.

Candrakirt's 7th century classic was written as a supplement to Nagarjuna's Root of the Middle Way.

This text integrates the central insight of Nagarjuna's thought - the rejection of any metaphysical notion of intrinsic existence- with the well-known Mahayana framework of the ten levels of the bodhisattva. This presentation of Entering the Middle Way began on August 22, 2021 and is ongoing.

 

"Illuminating the Intent" is Lama Tsongkaphas's renowned commentary on Chandrakirti's Entering the Middle Way. Composed in 1418, Lama Tsongkapha set forth the meaning of emptiness in the context of bohisattva's ten perfections.
